International Journal of Electrochemical Science, 2013 The electrochemical behavior of polystyrene modified with gold nanoparticle (Au NPs) was investigated in terms of pH-responsive polymer brush. A pH-responsive of modified polymer brush from tethered polystyrene was prepared and used for selective gating ...

Polymer brushes for antibiofouling and lubrication
Biosurface and Biotribology, 2017 Surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP) could provide many merits for the preparation of polymer brush, such as the well-defined chemical configurations, gradient, architecture and thickness.

Cooperative Interactions between Different Classes of Disordered Proteins Play a Functional Role in the Nuclear Pore Complex of Baker's Yeast. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Nucleocytoplasmic transport is highly selective, efficient, and is regulated by a poorly understood mechanism involving hundreds of disordered FG nucleoporin proteins (FG nups) lining the inside wall of the nuclear pore complex (NPC).

Aqueous Lubrication with Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Brushes
Tribology Online, 2014 Hydrophilic polymer brushes constitute a man-made approach to imitating nature’s lubrication mechanisms. A polymer that has been frequently used to explore such systems is poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG).
